In pursuit of a glorious thee.

Maraming salamat to everyone who contributed to the success of yesterday’s medical mission in Brgy. Atisan, San Pablo City. Special thanks to the volunteer doctors, Pen Pablo, Angeli Espiritu, Joyce Ann Saba (and friends) and to the gracious hosts and co-organizers, Angel Prudente, Veronica Prudente & the Kiwanis Club of Buklod SP.

Barangay Atisan is situated in the outskirts of the province of Laguna, near San Pablo City’s border with Tiaong, Quezon and Lipa City, Batangas. Most of the families live upland and have to travel several kilometers on foot to reach the Barangay Poblacion. The Barangay Midwife serves as the lone staff of the Barangay Health Center but is only available one day a week to provide consultations on health issues of the residents. Medical supplies and provisions are provided by the provincial government but the supplies are few and are not enough to cater to all members of the community.

Join us, the Philippine Science High School Classes of 1996 and 1997, and extend hands to the residents of Barangay Atisan, San Pablo City, for a worthwhile endeavor through a medical and deworming mission scheduled on 18 April 2010.

To volunteer you may leave a message here or contact us by e-mail (pisay96@gmail.com) or mobile phone (0920 4469728).

You may also give in-kind or cash donations, which you may bring to the following drop-off points:

Philippine Science High School scholars received premier education in the sciences to help in the nation’s development. Since its 10th jubilee anniversary in 2006, the Philippine Science High School Class of 1996 (Pisay ’96) has been conducting socio-civic projects in communities across the country, as a sign of gratitude and return to the nation.

As a fellow alumni and faculty coordinator I am writing to request your important participation as a sponsor of the renovation of the faculty room that was completely burned 2 years ago. We need to raise P5 million pesos so that we can finish the job before June.

The 35 teachers occupying the faculty room are relocated in a lab with two teachers sharing 1 table each. It has become difficult for them to do their job in such conditions. We would like to start renovation this quarter and hopefully give the teachers the space they need by June. We are raising P6 million pesos for this project and we have so far raised P1 million pesos.

As you think back on your time in PSHS, you may, as I do truly appreciate what a PSHS education has meant to you through the years since graduation. And, I hope those memories will inspire you to consider a generous gift in honor of our teachers.

Donations may be coursed through the PSHS Foundation with the following options :

US-based donations through Ayala Foundation at www.af-usa.org Upon receipt of your donation, the Ayala Foundation will issue an official receipt and acknowledgment receipt. These documents are important when you file and claim tax deductibility. They will then inform us of your donation and transfer the donation to our account.

In behalf of all the children who participated in the recently conducted Streetkids’ Christmas Party in UP Diliman, we would like to thank you for your support, participation, donation, and other contributions to the project. We hope that you enjoyed the activity as much as we all did. Some of the children who showed up have been attending the activity since 2006 and we know that the annual tradition is something they look forward to during the holiday season. We also know that it means a lot to them that there are people out there like you who go out of their way to share what they have and let them enjoy themselves even if only for a day.

So again, maraming salamat.

Maligayang Pasko. We wish you and your loved ones all the best for the coming years.

In the spirit of the holiday season, Pisay ’96 will be conducting the 3rd Pisay ’96 Christmas Party for Streetchildren on December 13, 2008 at UP Diliman, Quezon City. The activity is an annual Christmas tradition for children in the UP Diliman and adjacent areas who are not privileged enough to have the means to celebrate the holidays.

We would like to solicit your support to the project by supplementing the snacks for the participants and volunteers of the activity or by donating toys, books, or any other materials that may be given as gits or giveaways for the children. You may also want to donate your time and volunteer to be part of the program or be one of the facilitators of the event.

We are expecting 100 children to participate in the activity and we will welcome any form of support that you will be able to extend. You may contact us via email micamaldita@gmail.com or through mobile # 63920 4469728.

We are looking forward to a positive response. In behalf of the children whom you will be providing with a truly memorable experience, thank you very much and Merry Christmas!
